what makes winky wright's defense so badass?

[frankpaganini]

If you are a sucker for punishment, go ahead.

I do that **** against people who are taller and better skilled. Sooner or later, they'll give up, thinking they can't get to you.
But in fact, they very much do.
You need big balls, and I cannot lie.

exactly.

think back to ali's infamous "rope-a-dope".

do you think all of foremans punches were actually landing? no (however a great deal of them did) ali suckered him into wasting all his energy in many of those rounds only to come back and knock him out when he got tired.

this defense is similar in the sense that it fools many into believing winky's not getting hurt and the other boxer is just wasting punches but its not exactly the case.

winky IS getting punished...

i think winky's parring is underrated...he moves his arms with the shots to avoid much of the punishment....he squares his feet to use his upper body to flow with the punch...he doesnt look all stiff like abraham or sturm...

Take it from this gentleman, I've seen him do it with my own eyes. There's nothing like a firsthand account and you just got one.

nothing just put your hands up and cover your face.

LOL

Also forget about throwing any punches, punching in boxing is overrated
